Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

Yes, there are a number of things that need to be done. First you need to determine whether he made a legal entry. If his passport doesn't have a visa (and he's not Canadian), then he probably didn't. If he did enter legally then he can file in the U.S. or abroad. If he didn't enter legally and he had papers filed before April 30, 2001, he can apply here, otherwise he'd have to leave the U.S. and apply abroad, and there could be some issues with returning quickly that way.

There are several forms, his medical exam, photos, tiyr tax return(s), proof of employment (or assets), and possibly that of others if you can't show sufficient income or assets, etc. that have to be put together, filed with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, and an interview either here in the U.S. or abroad would then take place.

There are lots of details that are too many for a space like this to get into more discussion here.

Yes, once you are married, you can file for a Marriage Green Card Petition on behalf of your husband with the U.S. Immigration Service (USCIS). The petitions you would file for your husband are: I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and I-485 Petition to Adjust Status to Permanent Resident.

However, before you file the Petition with USCIS, there is case analysis that must occur by an experienced immigration lawyer and additional information is required from you.

Did your husband enter the U.S. with a valid visa? Is the visa expired? These questions must be addressed before further information can be provided.
